Cleveland, Aug. 16.—Walter Cox captured the feature event of yester- day’s card in the North Randall | money in the $3.000 Grand Circuit meeting, winning first trotting feature with Lu Princeton. Cox also won the 2:19 pace with Marjorie Kay, which found the going easy. In the 2:18 pace Butte lale, driven by Murphy, proved the class of his fleld and although he did not win either of the three heats by a large margin, was not forced to ex- tend himself. The 2:15 trot, with eleven start- ers, was hotly fought from start to. finish. Royal Hall, the favorits, was net evan a contender, Cora Davis go ing to the front and walking off with first money. | Meyers and Mowrey Erased From Brooklyn Payroll York, who New Aug. 16.—Two player helped the Robins win the National league championship last club. Polo grounds vesterday, Mpyers, the Indian backstop and once a picturesque figure on the diamond, and Mike Mowrey, the veteran third baseman, had been presentéd with their unconditional releases. The parting of Meyers and Mowrey from the Brooklyn club cames as no great surprise, and was more or less side of the bridge. Meyers has been on the toboggan for the last three vears and was little or no uSe to the Robins this season. In the days gone by the Chief could drive a ball as far as any other man in baseball, and was one of the most feared batters in the league. This season, however, the Indian had trouble in driving the ball cven out of the infield. Mowrey had no desire to play base- ball this season, and signed Wwith the Brooklyn club only after a plea from Robbie. Of late Mike has been having trouble with his legs, and was on the verge of quitting several times this season. Mowrey, not so long ago in the Brooklyn clubhouse said: “1 have ben playing baseball for 15 yea) ind this is my last season. Now I would rather till the soil on my farm or play solitalre than slam out a base hit in a pinch.” The other players released by the Prooklyn team this season are Wheez- er Dell and Ed Appleton, the pitchers, and Ollie O'Mara, the little shortstop. Dell has been signed by Matty for his Reds. Appleton and O’Mara are com- ing back to the Robins next week, as they are still the property of the Brooklyn club, A decision in the McGraw case is again promised by the National league this week. Because of the inability of the Chi- cago team to make connections that would enable it to play the Giants at the Polo grounds on Sunday, a change in the arrangements for the benefit for the Sixty-ninth regiment has been made, and the Cincinnati club .will oppose the New York team instead. An autographed baseball has been received by the Friendly Sons af St. Patrick from President Wilson and will be auctioned off before the game. The money derived from the auction will help to swell the fund being raised to take care of the dependent rela- tives of the soldiers. EX-PUGILIST DISQUALIFIED. Milwaukee, Aug. 16.—Ad Wolgast, former lightweight champlon boxer, was disqualified physically when he appeared yesterday before the exam- ination board for men drafted for war gervice.

The double victory gave the Elm City club a lead of nine and one- half games over Lawrence, its nearest rival.

Portland, Me., Aug. 16.—Bridgeport played a double header with Port- land yesterday, winning the first 10 to 6.

In the first game the visitors earned five runs off Barron in the PAPP FIRST AGAIN ON SARATOGA CARD Carries 130 Pounds on Heavy Track and Gallops Through Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 16.—Papp, George W. Loft's sterling two-vear- old, son of Peter Quince—Fhebe G., won the Sanford Memorial here yes- terday affernoon and gave further evi- dence of his right to juvenile honors., The track was deep and sloppy from a heavy rain of the carly morning and the sturdy chestnut took up 130 pounds, conceding weight to every starter but George J. Long's Freecut- ter. The colt to glve Papp such a stift argument was W. C. Clancy's Kash- mir. The son of Delhi and Gingham bad to shoulder only 115 pounds. He broke rather badly and had to race all around his company, and closing with a rush in the stretch was wear- ing the winner down at the end. 1t was the third victory for Papp at the meeting. He won the Flash Stakes on the opening day under 127 pounds and cored in the United States Hotel Stakes, in which he shouldered 130 pounds, giving away weight to every starter. Papp's other start was on Saturday when he was a good third in the Saratoga Special, in which he met with considerable mis- fortune. His race today makes him appear as easily the best juvenile that has been shown this season. The Corinth Handicap of a mile and a furlong was another of the impor- tant races of the afternoon, and it went to J. O. Keen's good mare Mos- cowa. She was particularly at home in the sloppy going and she made a show of Dick Williams, while T. C. McDowell'’s Manager Waite was third. Another Western victory came in the running of the third race, a mile affair that was generally considered to be strictly between Chiclet and Woodtrap. But W. J. Young's Va- lor raced Chiclet into submission to come on and win while the son of Spearmint just lasted to beat Wood= first inning, and batted in five more off Martin in the eighth. The second game was a pitchers’ battle between Plitt and Ferguson.
